Matrix Games today announced that update v1.07 for Command: Modern Operations is now live. In addition to a mountain of bugfixes, tweaks, and scenario updates – there are a few key new features to mention. First off is true altitude/pin-cushion view. Aerospace units can displayed at their true altitude on the map. This is by default off but can be turned on by going to “Game Options –> Map Display –> Draw units at true altitude”. This will hopefully help players visualize just where their aircraft are relative to one-another.

They have also revised the HTML-rendering backend using Microsoft’s new WebView2 rendering engine, added contrails and wakes to aircraft and submarines, and added new fuel flow rate restrictions in air-to-air refueling.

These features are covered in more detail in the changelog HERE, so give that a good read if any of these new options and game rules strike your fancy.

The Call of Duty Website has the news that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is now available for PC and consoles, offering the latest installment in the annual military shooter series. You can pick up the Windows edition through Battle.net, Steam, or the Xbox Store. The previous PC Launch Trailer takes a look, and here’s your mission briefing:

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.

Unity of Command II – Berlin is now available on Steam, adding new content to Unity of Command II, the World War II strategy game for Windows and macOS. As the title suggests, this recreates the final assault on the German capital which preceded the end of the war in Europe. Here are some details on this chance to relive this bit of history:

In early 1944, the Soviets squeezed German forces in the Korsun Pocket, a brutal winter encirclement battle and a major victory that chipped away at German strength. They also finally lifted the long Siege of Leningrad in January.

The summer of 1944 saw the massive Operation Bagration, a surprise attack that shattered German Army Group Center. By the fall, Soviet forces were on the offensive all along the Eastern Front, setting the stage for the final push into Germany in 1945. By February, the Soviets stood on the Oder River, just east of Berlin.

Major update brings a new soldier class, new squads, weapons and gear

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce the release of the “Guerrilla Warfare” major content update for the military online shooter Enlisted. It brings the new Guerrilla soldier class, the new “Mountain Pass” map, as well as new weapons and vehicles such as sawed-off PPSh and self-propelled gun Marder III. In addition, tanks and other armored vehicles now look better in motion thanks to the new physical model of tracks.

Watch the Enlisted “Guerrilla Warfare” Update trailer HERE.

Soviet partisans, German militias and irregular fighters from other nations can move around the enemy combat zone, that is usually closed to soldiers of other classes, and arrange treacherous ambushes. Only the respawn zones are off-limits to them. The guerrilla fighters have spare ammo for any weapon they might capture and carry extra charges of TNT for sabotage.

The new Mountain pass map in Ardennes is inspired by the bloody battles between the US and Germany in the winter of 1944. Here players fight for control of a small town with an important transport junction in the middle, maneuvering through snowy mountain forests, deserted streets and hastily constructed Allied fortified areas. The complex terrain provides many reliable shelters and no less ways to bypass them.

Finally, many wheeled and tracked vehicles in Enlisted have been visually updated. The suspension physics have become even more detailed, so tracks realistically stretch when driving over various obstacles, and the antennas sway when moving.

You can learn more about the changes in the Guerrilla Warfare update on the official website of the game.
